To all whom it mycomem: I

lie it known that I, CHARLES WILLIAMS, a

citizen ofthe United States, and residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings andState of New York, have invented certain new;

and useful Improvements in Pumps, of which the following is a specification, such will enable those skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same. i

This invention relates to pumps ior eleveting water, and the object thereof isvto provide an improved device of this class by means of which water may be raised to a much higher point than is possible with pumps now employed for this purpose; a ii'ujrthcr object being to provide a pump of the class specifiedwhich may be operated by band or power n'zechanism, and with these and other objects in View the invention consists in a pump of the class'specified constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the 'lfollowing specification, of which the acing my invention, and; Fi%. 2 a central, ,1

vertical sectional View thereo In the practice of my invention I provide a base plate (4 having on the top surface thereof an annular flange or rim a to which is secured a main cylinder 7), said cylinder being preferably screwed into said flange or rim. The ba'secplatc' a is also ro vided centrally thereof with a depe ing tubular coupling a having an annular Yalve seat a, and through which,-in practice, water is admitted to the cylinder 6 thronghapi'pe a and placed on the valve seat a is a, spherical valve a inclosed by a suitable a secured to the base plate The base platen may be passed to secure the ump to any suitable support when desired The cylinder is provided, {Wltl'l a cap 5 having, in the form: of construction shown,

a flange or rim 1)", which is crew d on to Y with a head cfiwhich is secured therein and issequred the discharge pipe :2 of the pump 9*} similar to the stufling box d. o.

lar valve seat, on which" is placed a spher v -cal valve h whiph'is iiiclosed by a cage fifi is also preferably provided with holes (gr-j apertures af'ihrough which screw or provided with a port or passage 0 forming .v a valve seat on which is placed a spherical valve 0 inclosed by a cage a" secure to said head. The lower end portion of the plungel cylinder 0 isalso provided with an annular flange or rim 0, below which a threaded collar 0 is screwed onto thelower end of said cylinder and between the collatiand the flange or rim 6 is secured an an- G5 nular flexible-packing c haying a depend} ing skirt or rim c whicli closely fitsthe inner wall of the cylinder 6.

The cap 11 of the cylinder 6 and through which the plunger cylinder 6 passes is pro-- vided with a stufiing box d comprising a flange or rim formed on said cap and a gland (Z screwed thereint'o together with an annular packin (l''.-

Within the p ll'mger cylinder 7-0 is fitted. a. supplemental stationary c linder e, the up-v per end of which is close by a cap e? hav big a central tubular coupling e in which" and connected with the cap 6 of the cylin- S0 der Z) are tubular rods f which'pass up through the rim portion (2 ofthe cap 9 and are connected with the discharge pipe 0*.21-1; f and said subular rod's f arefprovided ubove'and below the cap 3 with set nuts The .plungericylinder c isp'rovided with a cap 9 liaviii-g aflange or rim 9 through which tl ierods'f pass, and'said rods 7 form; 1

guides for the plunger aim the operation 'oIE-f the pump as hereinafter d escribed, zind the cap 9 is provided on the bottom thereof with 'a-flangc or rim g t, into'which the up- 'p'er end of the plunger" cylinder 0 is screwed and said cap isIprovid-ed with a, stiifiing box Y ,The lowcr end of the, supplemental stal ti'onary" cylinder e is closed by a head ,h'," which is screwed tliercinto and provided witha port 'or passage k forming an amnesecured to the head h and the lower end'ofi- J tl'ie'cylinder e is also provided with amen "n'ula'r packing h which'closely the plum l bottom of the main cylinder at i .and'tat {the upperend of which is pivotedzat zit-ii; yokc shaped handle lever j, the oppos tq 1 1s sides of whic'hare pivoted to the-cap gio'f" the plunger cylinder g at 7' an'd loymeens of? '50 l on the length of-the said cylinders, and the the handle lever jthe puifi .inay be operated by hand as will be rea il understood. The operation; will be readi y understood from the foregoing description when taken 5 in connection with the accompanying drawing and the following statement thereof. The pump may be secured to the water supply pipe e as shown, or it may be secured to any support and a water supply connected-therewith, and when in position 'tor'nse it is operated inthe form of constru 11 "shown by means of the handle lovely, At each upward movement of the plan r cylinder 0- water rushes into the 'cylin' er 6 through the coupling a", and at each downward movement of said plunger cylinder this Water is forced into the plunger cylinder, andat the next upward move- .ment of said plunger [cylinder the water therein is forced into the stationary cylinder e from which it'isforced'through the 11 delivery pipe e at each following outward or 'upwardmovement-of the c linder'c and I the supply ofwate'r delivered y the pipe e 'will thus, as will'beseen, and with-the construction -shown, be an intermittent supply,

It will be evident, however, that two' umps made in this manner may be geared together so that the sup 1y of wa through 30' the pipe e*,.which'w1 communicate with both of said pumps, may be a continuous supplyif desired. I g

The 'rods f which fonna uide and supportfor the plunger c lind k' c are made tubularnin form in or er' that any air or 'water. that'm'a collect the'upper or outer pad of the cyinder b by leaka e or-otherwise," may be forced out-of sai cylinder 6 into the discharge or delivery pipe e*, and these tubular rods are provided with check valves k. which 'o. rate to prevent back flow into. "sai d cylin er.

It will be understoodthat. the cylinders .b,"c and e vmay be. made of any desired len .h and-transverse dimensions and the sai, pump may be of any desired capacity and may, if. desired, be operated by power instead of by hand as herein shownand described','and the extent 0i, hei ht to which water may be raised or elevat .will depend valves a,1c and h,'which operate as ordinary check valves, instead of being spherjidal inform and ,inclosedin' cages may also 5 be inade of other styles, and various chan es in and g ddific-ations of-the"construct1on herein dqscribed may be made, within the" scope the appended claims, without de pipe 1 mental stationary parting from the spirit of my invxention or sacrificing its advantages. v

Havlng fully described my invention,

what I claim as new, and desire to secureby havlng' a portor passagefcontrolled by a check valve, the outer end portion of the su nlemental stationary cylinder being provi ed with a discharge pipe, and means for operating the plunger cylinder, .the outer end portion of the .mainstationar cylinderbeing also. rovided with tubes w ich comrnunica'te t erewith and with the discharge pipe. I

2. A pump, comprising main and supplecylinders, which areplaced in the same axial line, a plunger c linder fnounted on the'supplemental stationary cylinderand passed intothe main stationary cylinder, the end of the plunger cylinder which passes into the main cylinder being closed by a head e/dried with'a 1 the plunger cylinder and is closed by a head port or. passage controlled b a'check valve, 5

the end of the supplempntalstat'ionary cylinder' which passes i o the plunger cylinder being closed by y cad having a port or passage controlled by a check valve, said end .of the plunger cylinder and said end of the pistons stationary cylinder" also forming movable in the-main stationary cylinder and the plunger cylinder, the outer end 'of the main stationary cylinder bein provided with an inlet controlled by a-- c eck valve and the outerend of'the' supplemental stationary cylinder b'ein'g provided with a (118-1 charge pipe, the inner end "of themain stationar cylinder and-said discharge pipebe- 'so connected by tubes havuig check valves Inftestimonythat claim the foregoing asmy invention 'I'fhave signed my name n presence of the subscribing wltnesses'this 26th day of April 1910. g I CHARLES WILLIAMS.
